 Mossad’s Eagle

‘“We saw the lightning and that was the guns, and 

then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns”.

--Harriet Tubman.

There is an Eagle from the Middle East that has no

wings. It is a big frame revolver that has the stopping

power of a buffalo rifle. It is the most powerful hand-

gun in the world. It was created for the elite Israeli

military--the Desert Eagle Mark XIX Action Express

semi-automatic pistol that chambers a 325 grain .50

caliber cartridge--the largest centerfire cartridge of any

magazine-fed self-loading pistol.

This is a pistol with rifle DNA, like the M16, it uses a 

gas-operated ejection/chambering mechanism, 

secondary to its massive load, and this softens the

recoil to that of a Glock. The Eagle is 10.75 inches

long and it weighs 4 1/2 pounds. The grip is formed

for two-handed shooting. It comes in basic black, 

hand-brushed chrome, bronze, or a gold titanium

nitrate coated finishes. 

There is a Playboy cover with Pamela Anderson

holding a pink Desert Eagle. The Eagle is very

expensive; around $1,742.00. It has not been

picked up by any other military. It is basically a

celebrity handgun, and does not have any real

practical utility. Jeffrey Epstein had a brace of

them. It takes big hands, strong arms, and a big

ego to handle one of these bad boys. They have

used them in 400 action movies and video games.

The Desert Eagle

does not fly; its .50 slugs do,

stopping all prey.
